INFORMATION ABOUT
ACCESSIBILITY
Moers has a heart for people with disabil-
ities. A range of our tourist offerings and
destinations – such as the recommended
city tours or the castle – are designed to be
completely or partly handicap accessible.
If you have any questions, please contact
the addresses on pages 14 –15. You will
also find additional information about
accessibility in our Guide for people with
disabilities (in German).
Old Town – promenade with ambience
far top: Luise Henriette, top: Altmarkt
Enchanted corners, winding alleys and old
buildings: The old town is well-known
far beyond the city limits. The best way
to experience its charm is on foot. Our
tour begins at the Kastell (1), the town
centre’s largest square. Here you will find
the Kreisständehaus (2), a Renaissance
building dating back to 1898. Passing the
Castle (3) on the left, we make our way to
St. Josef catholic church (4) built in 1871.
The Kindergarten (5) on the other side was
built in 1778. Before a new church was built,
this was in fact the first Catholic church in
Moers.
We now walk back to the Schlosspark (6)
(castle park), with its old and partly exotic
trees and the historic ramparts. Designed in
1836 by horticultural director Maximilian
Weyhe in an English style, it is now consid-
ered to be one of the region’s most beautiful
landscape gardens – and part of the Strasse
der Gartenkunst (Road of Garden Art). We
leave the palace gardens north-east and
arrive at Meerstrasse, where we turn left
again. Here “Im Rosenthal”, the former New
Town (7) begins. On the right hand side at
the end of the street is a group of houses
from the Orange Order period (8). The step-
ped gables of Number 61 / 63 originated in
1640. Number 22 / 24 on neighbouring Fiesel-
strasse is just as old. At the “Pumpeneck” (9),
we continue to the right into Neustrasse,
which opens onto Neumarkt (10) (new
market) with the statue of Friedrich I. On
the right is the Peschkenhaus (11), the city’s
oldest town house. Built at the end of the
15th century, it later became a town man-
sion. Today it is a gallery for contemporary
art displays showing rewarding, temporary
exhibitions of national importance.
Continued on page 4

The Evangelische Stadtkirche (12) (Protes-
tant parish church) opposite dates back to
the 15th / 16th century.
Back in the pedestrian zone, Steinstrasse
leads further into the old town. On the left,
town houses from the 17th / 18th century
surround the Altmarkt (13) (old market) with
the Prussian monument. Here you will find
many inviting pubs and restaurants – this
is where people meet up in Moers. If you’re
looking to take a break you can’t go wrong
here. Then we continue past the pharmacies
to Kirchstrasse. “Rösgen” house no. 38 was
built in 1677. Today people can take delight
in the classical plaster façade.

Revitalisation in Moers? What once was, still is!
Located in the Repelen district the more
than 100 year old Jungbornpark is popu-
lar among those seeking rest and recrea-
tion. Around 1900, this once independent
municipality became recognised worldwide
as a health resort, founded and operated
by Emanuel Felke with his naturopathy
procedures similar to those of Kneipp. This
tradition has been revived: A former Felke
hut was built from plans derived from the
original huts to serve as a museum. The
light-air hut, the clay minigs, the bare-foot
path and other natural healing elements
can be toured and tried out.
Living monuments of the mining industry
The Meerbecker mining town is a special
part of the urban developmental history of
Moers.
After careful restoration true to the original,
it is nowadays one of the most beautiful
and best preserved colonies of its type in
Germany.
Old witnesses of that time are also shining
with new splendour in other areas. The
centrepiece of the Industrial monument
of Rheinpreussen coal mine is Shaft IV.

Moers is a unique shopping destination in
the region. Not only because of the size but
also the mix of individual shops, attractive

old town, with its main artery “Steinstrasse”
running through the town centre. At its end
at Neumarkt is the largest and best-stocked
fashion retailer in the region to draw
crowds, the family business Braun. But

A special tip is the Grafschafter Musenhof
directly near the castle. This medieval play

museum-pedagogical adventure location
of the Grafschafter Museum with pottery,
house and bakery, stable, shop and city

teaching activities include supervision
during special hours for parents who would
like to do some relaxed shopping.
More than 130 well maintained playgrounds
and kick-about areas also guarantee lots

kids were consulted in planning. The offers
range from a walk-in castle or adventure
slides to mud puddles for the little ones –
and from climbing garden or street ball and
roller hockey areas to the bike and skater
track for teenagers.
The small petting zoo in the theme park
promises outdoor fun for little ones. Horses,
goats, chickens, rabbits and many other
farm animals are looking forward to your
visit.
Entertainment is also offered in winter,
when it snows and freezes: That’s when the
Rodelberg invites you to sledging at the
theme park and the giant indoor ice rink
invites you to go ice skating.

Rail travel is fun. If you choose this mode
of transport, you’ll also discover the histor-
ic station. We also recommend it to those
arriving by car, who will find opportunities
to park there and around the old town.
Now it’s merely a stone’s throw to the
pedestrian zone. Welcome to the heart of
Moers! The old town with its picturesque
flair welcomes you. Be it Hauptmeile,
Altmarkt or side alleys – history meets
modern times all around. For in addition to
historic surroundings, shops are calling: On
Steinstrasse it’s mainly brand name stores
and fashion chains, down side streets
are the specialist stores. At Neumarkt,
fashionistas will find the largest fashion
boutique in the Lower Rhine area. For this,
if no other reason, Moers is known as a
shopping paradise!
After so many impressions a refreshment
is surely in order. End your day at one of
the pubs on the Altmarkt, the Hanns Dieter
Hüsch-Platz or at the Kastell.
By the way, it is prettiest in May, when the
cherries blossom. Now head north to the
next destination, the Rheinpreussen spoil
tip. The view is well worth it! And the walk-
through mining lamp, the Geleucht, turns
the spoil tip into a total work of art. From
here the diversified route leads past the
Uettelsheim Lake to the old Rheinpreussen
mine. Especially worth seeing are the shaft
tower and the winding engine house with
its true to the original furnishings and
collection. From there you’ll soon return to
